Hey all!

This is my first post in NUI Group.

Im glad to announce you all, that we have released recently a new software to work with Kinect.

Simple Kinect Touch (aka SKT) creates multitouch surfaces easily, then sends the data via TUIO to anywhere.

A demo of the software here:

And the software running under Ubuntu here:

You can download the source code from Ludique LABS.

Currently is under a beta release, hope to upload a new version soon, with some improvements and better GUI.

Please play with SKT, and make some cupcakes while you play.

very nice ! i reflect for buy kinect

XD it’s ok, i buy a kinect for 75€eur (little used)

I wait receive for test

nice finger tracking and looks easy to setup.
any chance for a windows binary to test?

looks incredible ! would love to see some windows source or binaries !

Really cool work Ignacio looking forward for where this could be taken in future

Hi, in http://code.google.com/p/simple-kinect-touch/
you can now find the new version and windows 7 source and binaries.
On Windows is running a little slow, probably because of OpenCV compilation for VS 10 (cmake doesn’t have sse3 option?)…
Have fun!

wow, great. just tested. really impressed how well it runs.
had one issue though. i am on windows btw.
the background calibration was not completed for the whole image or just failed at all (black screen).
had to stop updating the images, then it calibrated fine.
the tuio communication works fine out of the box,
at least with danielD´s HID driver for win7.
thanks and keep on.

hello everybody, i would like to thank you for the great piece of software, anyways i was trying to lunch it by all ways possible with no luck, i tried running the binaries and i get a spanish message meaning couldn’t open capture, then i tried compiling the vs2010 solution and no luck too i get opencv_img ..... link library error even tho all the include files and the libraries are correct, i installed avin drivers ,prime sense drivers tried disabling them one by one ,i installed OpenNI, i installed OpenCV still no luck...any suggestions are really appreciated, thanks

Hi hunix, I don’t know why the binaries might not be working, please include a detailed output. That message appears when the kinect device could not be found (if you haven’t done it, try the OpenNi samples)…
About the compilation: First you have to compile OpenCV from trunk (subversion) with OPENNI, Qt and Qt_OPENGL options enabled (and have Qt, OpenNi, primesensor and avin installed)
Then you have to change the library paths, include paths and, if you are using an opencv version diferent from 2.2.9, the include libs in the project properties (in the SKT solution) to point to your files.
Then you have to copy the dll’s from qt and opencv bin directories to the debug directory where the SKT.exe file is created (only those that appear in the executable version’s folder).
Please tell me if it works… or not… good luck!
We are finishing the new windows version (1.2) and will be published soon. The linux 1.2 version is available.

Hi everybody! We’ve just released the new version (1.2) for Windows. Now you can save the settings!. It is compiled with opencv 2.3. Please tell us your experience (and if it didn’t run or compile). Have Fun!

NZRock thanks for your reply, i will check it out now and keep you updated, thanks again

Now its working thanks a lot buddy :D:D:D i will make an interactive desk with it , the problem was from the drivers, i uninstalled all of them then re-downloaded the Primesense and OpenNI again then did everything, thanks

Nice to know you made it work!. Have fun!

Hi. I’m getting an error when trying to access http://code.google.com/p/simple-kinect-touch.

I would love to try the windows version. Any other link where I can download it?

Hi, that’s strange, the link works fine here.
Here is another link to the win executable: https://rapidshare.com/files/1372484954/SKT-1.2-WIN-EXEC.zip
Enjoy!
